I'm not sure I buy the argument this makes the code maintenance easier
because you now have multiple places to update if you extend the field.
Was this simply to avoid changing:

foo->slot to foo->region.slot

in the underlying code?

Do we have other examples in the kernel that jump these hoops?

Hmm I can see in the later code you explicitly check for the
KVM_MEM_PRIVATE flag with:

if (get_user(flags, (u32 __user *)(argp + flags_offset)))
goto out;

if (flags & KVM_MEM_PRIVATE)
size = sizeof(struct kvm_userspace_memory_region_ext);
else
size = sizeof(struct kvm_userspace_memory_region);

I think it would make sense to bring that sanity checking forward into
this patch to avoid the validation logic working in two different ways
over the series.
